Our sponsors and partners
Macquarie RiverSmart initiative
On World Environment Day (5 June) 2009, the Central West Catchment Management Authority and RiverSmart announced a partnership for the Macquarie RiverSmart initiative. The CMA is contributing $753,000 to that partnership in 2009. This support is gratefully acknowledged.
Brennan's Mitre 10 store in Dubbo is also a sponsor of this initiative, assisting with the supply of blue buckets.
"Brennans are a local business with strong connections to the environment. Our hardware and garden store is all about being Mighty Helpful. Our product range is tailored towards saving you money now and saving our environment for the future." Michael Brennan, July 2009

Sponsors of Macquarie Blue paddle-a-thon and river festival.
A big thank you to the more 20 businesses and organisations who chipped in to help make this event so successful. For details follow this link.
We would also like to thank all those volunteers who worked so hard to make it happen, and battled on through 40 + degree heat to get us over line. You're legends !
At the Macquarie Blue festival we were pleased to introduce our first river mascot, Macca the platypus. Based on a cartoon character kindly penned for us by Gary Clark (Swamp cartoon strip). Special thanks to McDonald's Australia for their assistance with bringing Macca to life.
Our sponsors:
RiverSmart especially wants corporate Australia to get behind this new approach, just as much as government.
This is the chance for corporate Australia to demonstrate social responsibility and help fund the work of RiverSmart.
There are many ways you or your organisation can help the work of RiverSmart Australia. These are outlined on the page 'How to become a sponsor'
-----------------
In late 2008, Banrock Station Wines provided funds to allow RiverSmart's involvement in the development of the Macquarie RiverSmart initiative, the Upper Murrumbidgee Demonstration Reach and Molonglo River Rescue projects (in the ACT and surrounds). We are very appreciative of this support. For more about these projects follow this link.
